Oh, yes - we celebrate the anniversary of our overthrow and release from a government run by bureaucrats and led by someone out of touch with reality; a government where we could be taxed on anything but we had no real voice in the process; a government where new and oppressive laws could be passed, ensnaring the poor while the rich buy their way out of everything; a government that eroded personal rights in favor of the public good, and treated most workers as replaceable slaves, giving them barely the minimum to survive. A government who tells us what we want to hear - but does what the special interest groups and big business commands.
Yeah, it's a good thing we got rid of that British government and made our own...
(I'll let you figure out just how cynical and sarcastic this all was...)
